The rating, decomposed

Orbex review

What produced Orbex's rating - every factor, shown separately.

Orbex has not been rated yet - we score a broker only once it has been assessed against every measure, so the number stays comparable. Regulated by FSC, offering MT4, MT5. What follows is drawn from the broker's own published material and covers the things that decide the account you end up with: who oversees them, what trading actually costs, and where the compromises sit.

Our rating

Not yet rated. We publish a score only once the broker has been assessed against every measure, so the number stays comparable across our sites. The specifications below are still accurate.

What it costs to trade

Spread from
0.0 pips
Minimum deposit
Not on record

A quoted spread from 0.0 pips is a raw-spread figure, which almost always means a separate commission per lot. Compare the two together - a "zero spread" account with a high commission can cost more than a wider spread with none.

Quoted spreads are best-case figures on the most liquid pair, in normal conditions. What you actually pay widens around news and at the session open.

Platforms

Trading software
MT4, MT5

MetaTrader 4 remains the most widely supported platform for expert advisors. If you rely on an existing EA, this is usually the deciding factor.

MetaTrader 5 handles more asset classes and order types than MT4, but expert advisors are not compatible between the two - an MT4 EA will not run on it.

Leverage, markets and funding

Maximum leverage
1:500
Markets
Not on record
Funding
Not on record

Leverage up to 1:500 is available on this entity. High leverage does not increase your expected return - it increases position size for the same deposit, and shortens the move needed to close you out.

Regulation and safety

Regulated by
FSC

Orbex's licence is offshore (FSC). Offshore entities typically offer higher leverage and lighter reporting, and compensation schemes do not apply - the trade-off is protection, not price.

An FSC licence (Mauritius or Belize, depending on the entity) is an offshore authorisation with lighter reporting duties than a tier-one regulator.
